Take heed. Brute force cannot work. Rather, you must shatter the illusion to slay the man behind the glass!

I got Twelve Steps on the wall
I got six sponsees to call
I'm a guru

AA's the only way
better listen to what I say
I'm a guru

I can ramble on all hour
talkin' 'bout my higher power
I'm a guru

My shares all take a while
I got my sponsor on speed dial
I'm a guru

I'll speak on any topic
you know my words are psychotropic
I'm a guru

I'm a guru
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I see through you

To save your soul from heist,
better turn your life to Christ
and your guru

All time best:

Good video:

Interesting. Anyone here heard of this guy?

Hello, below are the facts taken from a 1968 appeal of a murder conviction in California. I cite this case not for any legal principle, but simply because the facts are interesting:

Early in the evenin' just about supper time,
Ordered by the courthouse they're trying to stay dry.
Sponsors in the corner trying to pick you up.
Billy wrote a Big Book and the gurus start to harp.

Down in the basement, far from the sane,
Billy and the Steppers are chantin';
Bring a dollar; leave your brain.

This is from a story titled A Drunk Like You in the 4th edition of the Big Book. Notice the shifting that goes on here on pg 399-400:

1) Dude goes and sees Liberal Artist Therapist.

2) Liberal Artist Therapist tells Dude to limit his drinking to 5 a day.

3) Dude successfully limits himself to 5 drinks a day.

Sponsorman: You did everything to make this private war happen. You've done enough damage. This mission is over, Pennywise. Do you understand me? This mission is over! Look at them "out there"! Look at them! If you won't end this now, you will relapse. Is that what you want? It's over, Penny. It's over!

To the tune of Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer:

Tommy got caught driving drunk
Placed on probation
He knows it's all bunk...it's bunk, so bunk

Gina is no longer confined
Ordered by the man, she gets her slip signed
For court - for court

She says: We've got to hold on and keep coming back
It doesn't make a difference
If we fake it or crack
We've been mandated and that's so whack
For court - we'll give it a hack

Brilliant. Check it out: http://www.nietzschefamilycircus.com/

The AA Grapevine is called "Our meeting in Print." So if a person is mandated to attend AA meetings, shouldn't the person be able fulfill the requirement by reading a Grapevine article at home? Moreover, since every AA meeting is pretty much exactly the same, shouldn't the person be able to just read the same article over and over? As far as slip signing goes, maybe the person could photocopy the article and submit it to his probation officer as proof?

Prospects for Fun

By: Liar Baits

I want my VH1

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You chant Bill Wilson on the VH1
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' prospects for fun
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya Dr. Drew ain't dumb
Maybe wrap a pigeon around your little finger
Maybe crush a pigeon with your thumb

Scene: In a dark church basement

William "Buffalo Bill" Wilson: It puts the dollar in the tin. It does this whenever it is told.

Prospect Patti: Mister... my lawyer will file suit. Whatever religion you're pushin' on me, he'll fight it.

William "Buffalo Bill" Wilson: It puts the dollar in the tin or else it makes amends again.

[to his sponsee, Precious]
William "Buffalo Bill" Wilson: Yes, it will, Precious, won't it? It will make amends!
